Default 4 Membership Site Rules To Keep Members Happy and Minimize Cancellation Rates

One of the ****er strategies to make the maximum amount of money from membership sites is to keep your members happy in order to minimize cancellation rates.

It is very normal for members to come and go, but ultimately you will want to keep a core number of members at all times. This will allow you to cover your running expenses and content creation costs; and of course, generate some profit.

The secret to keeping members really is not a secret at all. It involves a few things:
- Update with new, quality content regularly
- Become a trusted friend to your members through clear constant contact
- Price your membership according to quality and market value
- Give members what they want

The above four rules, if abided, will make any membership site a success. Let's take a look at the above factors more closely to see how they truly do mean the difference between a successful membership and one that fails.

Update Regularly With New Content

It goes without saying that a membership will not retain members for long if no new content is added. Make sure you update regularly.

Become a Trusted Friend

By communicating with your members through email, forums, audio recordings and other means, you build a sense of trust and friendship. Trust is the ultimate factor in getting people to buy from you online.

Membership Price

Are there any other memberships in your niche targeting the same audience? If so, how much do they cost?

It pays to join up with any similar memberships to see how they work. Study what they are doing and note down how you can do it better.

Can you provide more content, better content or different forms of content from the other membership sites?

Can you do it at a cheaper price, or do you want to price yours at a higher rate to make it seem more exclusive?

The possibilities are endless but studying the competition can make pricing your own membership a much easier task. Ultimately you want to be able to compete with existing sites so offering a low introductory rate is a viable option.

Give Members What They Want

The secret to being successful online is simply to sell what people want. Very few people make good money online by being revolutionary and trying to rewrite history.

Sure, there are many such success stories and the owners have gone on to earn millions of dollars, but you do not hear about the failures of which there are many.

The surefire way to make money online is to give people what they want. You can find out what they want by studying different marketing strategies, spending patterns, popular products, questions being asked on forums, blog and news items.

And probably the simplest way is to ask people directly what they require through surveys or questionnaires.

Membership sites provide the ultimate residual income opportunity. They also provide a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction as you work to make your members happy. These ****er tips to make money from membership sites will get you on track to running a successful, active membership.
